6 Ways to Stay Cool When the Heat Hits

It’s 85 degrees out and you still have to leave the house? We know. It’s just unreasonable. Despite the high temps, though, it is possible to uphold your style. Just stick to these six guidelines, and you won’t regret your outfit the second you’re out the door.

1. Light hues. Well, most of them, anyway. White is fail-safe when it comes to avoiding – how do they say it kindly – glistening. It reflects light and heat. Grey and light blue do, too, but they also show sweat more than others, so steer clear.

2. Long fabrics. You may think your maxi dress is holding in the heat, but that’s probably its polyester fabric. Choose one in a lightweight cotton. It will aerate while blocking the hot rays.
